Why do I have so many domains?

I logged in to my Godaddy.com account today to see just how many domains I own. I have one domain elsewhere, and all my others are at Godaddy.

The result was quite surprising.

I own 25 domains! Let’s go through ‘em all shall we?

• 4getschool.com - Proxy site I’ve been running a bit lately, but now need to purchase a new hosting account for, since you can’t host proxies on ordinary servers.
• CleanseAcne.com - A site on which I wanted to have an ebook guide on acne and all that. My reasoning at the time of purchase was that teenagers are probably the biggest internet users, and this is a common problem for teens. I still haven’t done this site.
• ConorMongey.com - This was a Christmas present for a friend, who’s now doing his own blog on there.
• FeckSchool.com - Was a proxy site, but is now doing nothing, shame since it’s a nice domain. Even if I continue doing nothing with this domain, I’ll renew it.
• GetFrontPage.com - That’s right, the site I sold for $1,050. The buyer never accepted the domain, but obviously I couldn’t sell it again or risk him coming back to me giving out. I’ve contacted him about this and never gotten a reply.
• GoingHairless.info - A shitty adsense site I put up back in the day and hoped to sell. I never sold it, still try to the odd time, but never with any conviction!
• GuideToWordpress.com - I was going to do an ebook site on this, but Smemon and myself decided to use it to start a blog guide, helping out with wordpress and also giving away his ebook that he wrote. Smemon basically did all the work, and we were going to continue posting on the site for a while, get a few subscribers and see where that takes us. Just yesterday I talked to him me not having enough time to run my own projects, so working on something substandardly with someone else is not something I’d feel very good about, and I gracefully retired from the project. I don’t deserve any credit not doing any work like! I offered him the domain, but we’re going to wait and see. I think my choice was best for both parties involved.
• ImgSlut.com - Ah, my new image hosting site. I think this could enjoy a little success, since it has a domain name that is more memorable than the average image hosting site. I’m in the process of finding a designer for the header/logo, and will fiddle around with the site after that. For the header I’m hoping for something kind of funny, like an image logo or picture frame wearing fishnet tights and high heels. If you or someone you know could do this for a cheap-ish price, give me a shout.
• JointVenturesProfits.com - A disgusting domain for what was a disgusting PLR ebook site. I sold the site for $25 ages ago, and the buyer didn’t accept the domain. Just a few weeks ago he mailed me about it again, so I go and push him the domain for the second time, and again he doesn’t fucking accept! The second time he mailed about it, I had already made some bigger sales, so doing this for a smaller sale from ages ago (combined with the fact that this was his fault anyway) was annoying. If he mails me again, he’s getting ignored, and that’s something I never do.
• PhoneGallery.info - Ah, this one warms my heart. There were so many different ideas and sites up on this domain. Eventually I did a mobile phone blog on there and sold it, and of course the buyer never accepted the domain.
• RockFestivalBlog.com - Fairly obvious what my idea was for this, a blog with updates on the rock festivals around the world. I’d still like to actually do this site, but you know me, I’m a lazy bollocks.
• SiteOfTheConchords.com - This is the domain I’m most proud of. I wanted to do a fansite for The Flight of the Conchords, and came up with this domain. Even now when I think about it, I’m proud! This got a PR1 a while ago but then lost it again. Someday, I’ll do this site.
• SlipStreamLCC.com - A domain bought for a poor friend with no credit card.
• Soodie.com/.net/.info - A trilogy of domains I had a plan for. I found the name pretty brandable, so went and bought the .net and .info extensions before realising the idea was too expensive for me at the time.
• UltimateHealthBlog.com - A health blog I made and sold, and I actually didn’t realise until now that the buyer never accepted his domain.
• VXJQ.com - An “investment” I made during the dying seconds of the LLLL.com sale rush. Could prove to be worth more in years to come.
• Walsho.net/com - The website you’re currently on. Recently bought the .com extension to stop anyone holding me ransom.
• WebmasterDiscounts.com - A decent domain and idea, and I ran this fairly well with someone for a while. It’s now kind of abandoned, but has a PR3, and I’ve been meaning to start working on it again!
• XQJV.com- See number 16.
• XVTQ.com - See number 16.
• YourBabies.info - See number 6.
• YourDebs.com - Wanted to do a debs information site with this. I still do, and have been slowly making progress on it.
• YourGphoneblog - Bought this around the time the iPhone came out, and every single iPhone domain was being bought for silly money. So then the rumours of Google bringing out a gPhone started spreading, so I bought this. There has been no more word of a gPhone since. Thanks google, now I look like a fool.

If anyone fancies buying some of these domains off me, give me a shout, as I’m sure you’ve noticed most of them have been abandoned!

   You got some ok domains there. CleanseAcne.com is a great domain but a very hard niche. I would start a project on WebmasterDiscounts.com that is a great domain and as you said its a PR3 already!
